Pocari and Aquarius are different than Gatorade and PowerAde in the US. You can just tell by looking at them.
(As was stated before) during this especially hot summer in Japan, Pocari was recommended by health officials as the best way to keep healthy and hydrated. I thought that was surprising, as in the US, water is always the #1 recommended drink. But we don't have the same sports drinks in the US as they do in Japan.

No need to wonder. It is a wonder-drug that works wonders ... without drugs.
